safety,
swim,
We are a very safety conscious event with a 100% safety record spanning over 12 years.
Our water rescue team are medics, rowers and canoeists who are based in the area all year round.
They are familiar with the behaviour and currents of the river.
Every person in the water will have a dedicated marshal watching them.
If you get into trouble, roll into the backstroke position and signal for help using your arm and one of our crew will come to your aid immediately.
Should you require further assistance, our ambulance crew will be on standby at the riverside.
Couple of additional facts about swimming at TriAthy:
The riverbank is never more than 20m away (the river is 40m wide at it's maximum point)
The river depth is generally chest high during June.
The river current is normally slow and steady during June.
Multiple canoeists and river-side marshals will be keeping close watch on our swimming triathletes.
